    Asada burrito
    Dev M.

    The food was very good, the taste was full of flavor and you can tell was authentic and made fresh. We highly recommend!

    Interiors are super clean with well spaced furniture.

    I wish I had more time to explore the great spots along HWY 5, but I'm usually in the midst of a 5-6 hour drive each way so known options which are quick and easy and provide consistent quality win the day. And fast food is not an option. For 30 years our normal stopping point often becomes Williams. Several strong local options. BUT his time, on our southbound return from the River, the timing for Willows worked our lunch stop. With the help of Yelp we found Elenita's. Although a few blocks off the freeway we have it a try. BAM! It's so rewarding to get the "wholly schnickies" experience when you take a chance! Well, to be perfectly honest it wasn't much of a risk. Elenita's had a 4.5 star avg. with about 100 reviews. Tough to take that! My son had the carne-asada super burrito. Lite rice. For me, although it was lunchtime, I hadn't had breakfast yet so I went for a breakfast burrito lite rice and lite beans. I chose chorizo as my protein. Chorizo can be tricky if the rest isn't focused. I asked for "crispy" chorizo and they #nailedit! @elenitas food was authentic and fresh. The restaurant was clean. Super clean. And the tables were well spaced. Last, the owner was working the counter. Her smile was genuine when she talked about Willows being a small town and how they all shit down to watch youth sports on Saturdays. Take the time to visit. Call ahead and she'll have it waiting for you! 5-star!

    Voted best in Glenn County!

    My all around favorite Mexican food. I love the food. Especially the carnitas and beans. The service is exemplary. Their customers matter to them. Prices are fair, food is delicious!

    Chicken salad to go. Chicken was cooked perfectly- good flavor and crispy. No burn at all.

    We've been here for lunch several times. Tacos and enchiladas are great and service is always friendly and prompt.

    Great food and service with a smile. Get the street tacos and a side of guacamole with a bottled coke. You won't regret it.

    Nothing fancy here. Just really good, simple food prepared well. Large portions. Fresh ingredients. Home cooking. You can't go wrong.

    Good traditional style Mexican food. Not Taco Bell style but the real deal. Try the asada tacos and the chile relleno with Pablano chile
